1) I am sending you a leaflet-article by Zhorzh. In my opinion, it is terribly unsuccessful. I don't even know whether it's worth reworking... It's vulgar, unconsidered, stilted, a fake imitation of a "popular" style. A specimen of how NOT to write popularizing material...

Perhaps you could have a word with him when you see him?

2) Regarding disarmament I am wavering. If we are going to include the Swede + Norwegian in the collection, we absolutely must include an article on disarmament as well. It won't take me long to write — to rework my 374. But will it fit?

We need to decide. Answer me.

Let us calculate once more how much our collection will then swell — already swollen as it is.

3) Reply to Bukharin. This too needs deciding. If you don't want to say that the chief thing is principled disagreements, then I agree to alter it so that the reasons (for non-publication) are two: (.) technical and financial
(.) principled.

Send such a variant (don't forget to link the two parts of the letter together more smoothly stylistically) and let's decide as quickly as possible. Of course, you bear in mind that our reply to Bukharin is of great significance: we need to think it through carefully and preserve a copy.
